Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:SDC Time Traveler Entrance.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:SDC Time Traveler Entrance.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:00, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi there! While such awards are indeed prestigious, they can come across more as promotional, which is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Look at this policy discussion, especially item #5. In the Troutman Sanders article, is there something suggesting they aren't notable? -- McDoob  AU93  20:45, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
